Re: How do you try barrels?

As much as I would love to have a MoBa barrel-- and bell (because they are so pretty), I don't think the tone/projection is what I am looking for with this setup, from what I have heard and experienced. If I could go try a bunch I might just for fun, but the two I have had the chance to try (one from a fellow player and one that was being sold used) both fit loosely on my clarinet and did nothing special for the sound. Too bad, though.

I am really looking to compare how the barrels that are designed for my instrument (to fix intonation and other R-13 specific issues) will sound in comparison to the other one I am trying, which definitely improves the sound but doesn't seem to change much tuning-wise. Besides, these are what the mouthpiece maker recommends so I want to see how that sounds.
